No doubt the exhibition "star" at this coming (2013) CES will be Ultra High Definition Television (Ultra HD) featuring at least four times the number of pixels per frame as conventional HDTV. This means the viewer can be positioned proportionally closer to the screen without seeing any pixel grain. But the increased picture detail improvement effected by the increased pixel density is not lost by those viewing from greater distances either. In fact significant image enhancement is noticeable as much as ten times the picture height from the display (assuming 20/20 visual acuity). To the normal human eye, the roll-off of the image improvement relative to distance is, of course, gradual and dependent on a number of image variables such as contrast, brightness motion content, etc.
The bottom line is: for most home TV viewing applications, Ultra HD is a significantly noticeable improvement over today's HDTV. However, these improvements with higher definition systems are on an increasingly flattening curve. As the image detail approaches the limits of human visual acuity, further increases in pixel density results in very little noticeable picture enhancement – everything else being equal – in short, diminishing returns.
All of the above conclusions do not require rigorous scientific observations and/or analysis. This has been intuitively obvious at the various Ultra HD exhibitions and demonstrations I have witnessed. However, the one caveat to observed Ultra HD improvements is that the image signal source must also be of the same or higher resolution to observe the full benefits – at any distance.
At this time there is no Ultra HD content available save for some specially produced demonstration software played back with laboratory prototype equipment. Of course, there are in use some digital cinema Ultra HD quality (i.e. "4K") cameras, recorders and editing suites as well as an abundance of motion picture prints equal to or exceeding Ultra HD specifications, but there is no commercial distribution structure for Ultra HD.
Sound familiar? It's about where HDTV was 15 years age, except there are no Ultra HD system standards, no national mandate, and no public expectations. Broadcasters and content producers are just now recovering from the financial, structural and technical trauma surrounding the digital transition and thus have little incentive or inclination at this time to indulge in another massive infrastructure upgrade. Such updates will probably await the adoption of the next generation broadcasting standards (ATSC 3.0), which are several years away. Until then, there will be several generations of display technologies, all of which will be more advanced than any Ultra HD system presently available – and may not be compatible with it.
So, "future proofing" is really not a good reason to invest in Ultra HD today. But there is one reason such an investment may be quite compelling – and that is "upconversion." Upconversion (or up-scaling) technology has advanced significantly over the past few years, mainly being applied to 3D display systems processing lower resolution 3D images. Applying this "very smart" upconversion technology to convert HDTV images to Ultra-HD quality can result in spectacularly detailed images with little noticeable motion artifacts.
Obviously, Ultra HD upconversion quality decreases with lower resolution input material but remains impressive. But not all upconverters are equal. Most contemporary upconverters look good with static images. The real test is how well detail is maintained in moving images without objectionable artifacts.
In my view Ultra HD is an evolutionary attribute – not revolutionary. But since all HDTV can be unconverted to high-quality Ultra HD, this feature is of very worthy consideration, particularly for large front projection displays systems, stadium displays and bill-boards. No doubt the high premium demanded now for Ultra HD capability will decrease rapidly as panel production ramps up and competition increases. As to original Ultra HD content – It may be a fair question to ask whether it is needed. The returns appear to diminish rapidly.

I recently read someone belittling someone else's beliefs, for fun, and I thought how in the hell can you think that will change anything – do you not know that making someone feel stupid shuts them down to listening to you. And then I realised I was actually doing something similar – not seeing it from their perspective and wanting to make a sarcastic comment to make them feel dumb. So why is it we feel the instant need to show others just how wrong they are?
I think that when someone bumps up against a belief we hold dear we get defensive, but it also depends on our mood at the time. It's never about the other person's 'silly' beliefs but about us needing to make ourselves feel better by putting them down, or being frustrated because we think if everyone agreed with our view life would be better. If we genuinely disagreed then surely we would want to find the best way to get them to listen rather than just push them further into their view? Everyone thinks what they believe is right because that's the nature of beliefs to look for what agrees and discount what doesn't. Just think about something people tell you, eg you are good at something. If you don't believe you are you will just focus on how you are not no matter how many times you are told you are. We see that all the time. Sometimes people will literally feel uncomfortable with being told what we see is obvious because their world is built around that opposite belief and they fear letting go of it.
Our beliefs are given to us as we grow up either by what we are told or what we experience. We then see the world through those beliefs unless we choose to examine them or out grow them naturally. Most people just accept that what they think is true when it might not be, and unfortunately a lot of beliefs are hidden unless you look. But it's worth remembering that if you grew up in a different environment you could have different beliefs. (obviously it's a bit more complicated than that though). So seeing someone as a human being who's whole life has led them to how they are, and being curious to that will get you a lot further than judging them. (That's not to say some people shouldn't be stopped from acting on their beliefs, but stopping people and explaining why is very different from attacking them.
So me getting annoyed was great, getting annoyed shows you a belief that needs examining or that you are feeling a bit grisly and chose that to let it out. And it helped me learn to see things from another perspective, how they can feel right. I did read an idea that we should regularly lunch with people who have opposite views to us and see them as humans, no animosity or trying to prove you are right. What a change that would make in the world, if we could discuss and understand. Even if you are right what is good about making anther human being feel wrong? And of course my favourite thing to remind myself is that if I had lived that person's life and believed that person's beliefs I would be no different to them. Helping each other try on different views so we can then choose what is right for us is far better than feeling animosity and frustration too. And usually works a damn site quicker at changing attitudes too. Mine included.
I recently got round to watching the TV series 'the greatest thinkers' (brilliant) and I was struck by how many people had such amazing and important ideas but weren't listened to simply because they shared them in a attacking and disparaging way. If people could just be secure enough to be open to what another believes, and remember we all want the same at the end of the day, a lot of problems would just dissolve and a lot of conflict have been avoided. Not easy though, but gotta start somewhere.
What I also learned from this is that I felt uncomfy with someone thinking it's OK to do something that will knowingly get other people's backs up because I would never allow myself to be that honest due to not wanting to appear hypocritical. I have wasted far too much time examining whether my view was OK and in line with what I teach because I judged myself as not good enough if it ever wasn't. God how stupid that seems now, lol. Plus of course the anxiety of fearing being hypocritical made me more likely to be incongruent anyway! See – that's what unexamined beliefs do to you! (or as I see in my work – most people end up just trying to run away from their own beliefs/ get out of their own heads). We hold ourselves back so much, and cause ourselves so much unnecessary suffering because we are not taught this. Life can be hard enough without us adding to it. Mind you in style of this – I also get how much easier it is to avoid doing so too – I've been avoiding this hypocrisy belief for years, plus it isn't the popular thing to do. I know that too, lol. So I will get pondering how I can do my bit to change that….
Thanks if you kept reading long enough to read this!!

Just hours after Breitbart News's John Hayward published his piece on how the GOP establishment is working through the seven stages of grief over a potential Donald Trump nomination on Thursday, GOP sellout Ana Navarro said she was still in the "denial stage."
On CNN's The Lead, Navarro said she still "cannot get myself to believe that Donald Trump is going" to win the nomination and was in the "denial stage of grief, and I'm going to stay here until poll results prove differently."
She may have to wait for quite some time as Trump has widened his lead in numerous state and national polls after proposing a temporary ban on Muslims entering the United States—much to the chagrin and shock of the mainstream media and those in the insular political establishment like Navarro.
Navarro, who has spent years trashing some of the GOP's brightest conservatives and vowed to lead the "Dump Trump" movement, added that she had a "great deal of concern" that Trump may actually win the nomination and lamented the Trump is causing "great harm" to the GOP brand. She also conceded that the establishment must be careful about attacking Trump because "it almost helps him" because "you see his numbers rise."
Democrat Steve McMahon even suggested that underperforming candidates—including Navarro's beloved Jeb Bush(!)—drop out of the race so the establishment can coalesce around one challenger who can more effectively take on Trump.

ICS Learn Internal Verification Policy
1. Introduction
ICS Learn is committed to carrying out internal verification for all students to meet the standards set out internally by us and by the various awarding organisations whose qualifications we offer. Internal Verification is also a tool which is used to develop our tutors experience and consistency in marking and feedback.
2. Scope
This policy relates to ICS Learn accredited courses and applies to all internal verification. For the purpose of this policy, the term "Internal Verification" encompasses all forms of activity that check and validate assessments.
It may be implemented through the systems of verification as required or laid down by examining or awarding organisations; or it may occur through formative and summative assessment and verification of learner's assessments.
3. Policy Statement
ICS Learn is committed to ensuring that standards of assessment and verification are consistent, transparent and in line with the requirements of our awarding organisations.
This policy aims to fulfil Quality Expectations 20 and 25 (see glossary) from the ICS Learn Quality and Performance Framework and their subsequent indicators by; ensuring that all learners work is fairly, accurately and regularly verified in a consistent manner, valid assessment decisions are reached for all learners, and all external requirements are fully met.
Staff are supported in their training and assessment activities by providing the opportunity to receive detailed feedback on the assessment decisions reached.
Learners work is assessed in a consistent and transparent manner ensuring that all the outcomes are fair, reliable and valid.
ICS Learn ensure that assessment standards and specifications are fully implemented, so that no risk is posed to the reputation of ICS Learn and that of the awarding organisations. We work to establish quality control and recording mechanisms for assessments through a system of sampling moderation and internal verification. ICS Learn provide inclusive person-centred approaches to assessment, and verification that provide opportunities for learners to achieve and progress.
4. Roles and Responsibilities
All staff have a responsibility to give full and active support for the policy by ensuring that the policy is known, understood and implemented and actions are taken to implement and develop policy.
Appropriately qualified staff must carry out all internal verification. Ideally all verification staff will complete the approved internal verification award. Where newly appointed internal verifiers undertake internal verification (IV), this must be monitored by the Quality Coordinator. Also, each course must have at least one qualified internal verifier who will verify or standardise the assessments for that particular programme.
IV must be carried out continuously throughout the year. This should include both formative and summative verifications. In addition to this, appropriate periods of time when IV takes place will be recorded. Any evidence that is produced must meet the requirements of the awarding organisations.
IV evidence must be recorded on appropriate documentation, which takes into account the requirements of awarding organisations Quality System. Internal verification must be completed before assessment decisions are confirmed and notified to students and certification is requested.
Annually, evidence that IV practice has taken place must be available for the awarding organisations quality review and ICS Learn Internal Programme Review. Internal monitoring of IV activity will also be carried out via the Curriculum team on an ongoing basis.
Records of IV also must be kept in a secure location and only be accessed by staff authorised to do so.
All IV or moderation must be in line with current awarding organisations recommendations. Sampling must be across all, assessors, all types of evidence and all learners including plans, reviews and records in addition to learners' evidence.
Biannually, internal verifiers must organise and host standardisation meetings in conjunction with the Curriculum Coordinators and maintain a current continuous professional development file.
Monitoring and Evaluation
This policy will be monitored by the Education Services Director, Quality Enhancement and Performance Team and through established quality assurance procedures.

6. Glossary
Awarding Organisations: An Awarding Organisation designs, develops, delivers and awards the recognition of learning outcomes (knowledge, skills and/or competencies) of an individual following an assessment and quality assurance process that is valued by employers, learners or stakeholders. Also known as "Awarding Body".
Internal Verification (IV): is the process of monitoring assessment practice in order to ensure that assessment decisions meet national standards. It provides a continuous monitoring of the consistency, quality and fairness of the assessment of learner's work.
Internal Verifiers: Sometimes refered to as Internal Moderator, an Internal Verifier monitors the work of all assessors involved in the qualification to ensure that they are applying assessment criteria for the competency of skills consistently throughout all assessment activities. An Internal Verifier will also ensure that the assessment methods employed will allow learners to demonstrate how they meet the assessment criteria.
Standardisation: Activity that takes place regularly to ensure the reliability of assessment decisions and the consistency and accuracy of feedback. Standardisation activities are used to identify any discrepancies between assessors in their judgement of learner evidence and allow adjustments to be made to remedy these. Furthermore, such activities can help identify and disseminate good practice.
Quality and Performance Framework: The Framework defines all quality standards and expectations which the company intends to meet and fulfil within the student journey. The Framework is used to define quality standards and benchmark our performance to it.
- Expectation 20 of the Framework states: 'Formative assessments are relevant to the learning of the student and are reviewed by Internal Verifiers.' Internal Verification is essential to assure ourselves, our learners and the Awarding Organisations we work with that the learning outcomes have been successfully achieved and that the correct assessment methods and tools are used.
- Expectation 25 of the Framework refers to the importance of timely feedback which is constructive and consistent and the benefit of regular standardisation events for assessors. All of these points can be met by ICS Learn Internal Verifiers.


text: Tax, Accounting & Finance Scots' credit score ignorance peaks despite plans to borrow By Lynda Hamilton Parker - December 4, 2015 If you know your credit score, you're in the minority, according to a new UK poll which has revealed an "alarming" ignorance among the under 30s of the credit ranking which often governs financial life More than half (52%) of all adults in Scotland have no idea what their credit score is, yet nearly a quarter (23%) expect to borrow money in the next two years, according to a new study. A fifth (19%) of all Scots don't even know what a credit score is, says Big Data Scoring, which commissioned the YouGov research. The survey, which examined the financial lives of young adults aged 18 to 29 (aka the 'millennials') to see what challenges they face when borrowing and paying off their personal debts, revealed that this generation are more likely to have a cash ISA (34%) than a credit card (29%). It found that a third have no debt at all (33%), while nearly a quarter (24%) are carrying £10,000 or more of debt. A quarter (25%) had been declined a financial product or loan. According to credit score specialist Big Data Scoring, one reason so few young people have credit cards could lie in the challenge faced by financial institutions in doing a credit check on someone who, in essence, has no credit history. While some countries start people off from the median (in essence an average credit score), in the UK you start off with a poor credit score and have to build it up. For the young – or an immigrant into the UK – that means you start off in a bad position. It says one solution is to do intelligent research of a loan applicant online, to help build a clearer profile which helps assess their creditworthiness. While only 5% of those under age 30 said they would be comfortable with this, that figure soared to 22% if people thought it could mean a better rate of interest or a favourable financial deal. The study's regional revelations revealed that young people in the East of England have the lowest levels of debt, with almost two fifths (38%) having no debt at all, while millennials in Scotland have the lowest levels (6%) with debts of £20,000 or more. More than one in eight (13%) of young people in the North of England claimed to not have any financial products – not even a bank account – almost quadruple the British average of 3%. Big Data Scoring says that, given the current need to have some kind of financial history to get credit, these people could find themselves in a no-win situation, unable even to open a current account at the bank. Erki Kert, CEO at Big Data Scoring, said: "Young people have come into adulthood with an almost immediate online presence, unlike previous generations. We have seen this can be as much, sometimes more, of a barometer of their creditworthiness as the traditional approach applied to older people. Increasingly, banks are starting to use this alternative source of information to support with their credit checking; it may eventually become an industry standard." For some people, the problem isn't getting too little credit, but too much. One in ten (11%) of those with debt aged under 30 thought they would never be able to repay all their debt, while more than one in seven (16%) envisage it would take 20+ years to clear it. A similar figure (18%) thought it would take between 10 – 20 years. Altogether that's more than a third (34%) of millennials carrying debt for over a decade – and this figure excludes mortgages. Kert continued: "Too much credit is a consequence of the current failings when it comes to credit scoring young people and highlights the need for action to ensure people are given what they need but also what they can afford."

One of the more classy exteriors at the Greenbelt 3 row is Marciano's. Upon entering, the distinct style and furnishing is reminiscent of old Hollywood. Red wall curtains serve as a separator for the seats on the right. The walls are covered with huge mirrors with black frames, and assorted photos that match the design. The ceiling has a dropped portion with mirror. The Victorian-styled seats are firm and comfortable.
The chandeliers add sophistication and cast an interesting color to its surroundings. The staff are very accommodating and courteous. Marciano's also have al fresco dining area, as most restaurants in Greenbel do.
Their menu has interesting names plucked from famous Hollywood shows based in New York, like Gossip Girl, Friends, Seinfeld, etc. The price is a little steep, but the very nice feeling while dining in such a characteristic place will probably be worth it. Food is okay. I just like to enjoy food and leave criticism at home, unless the taste is screaming of a good (or bad) writeup.
Bud Fox (Tenderloin strips with vegetables and mashed potato) : Php358
The tenderloin strips taste fine. But the decorative sauce surrounding it is amazing! I wish they gave me a soup of it. Or maybe it was so good because there was only a small serving of it. The veggies are tossed with olive oil and the mashed potato is perfect for the beef.
Margheritta Pizza (8 slices): Php268
Cannoli (strawberry filling): Php158
I'm not sure if this version can be called a cannoli. I got very curious when I found out Marciano's is serving this, but it is an Italian-New York restaurant afterall.
Quote from the Godfather, "Leave the gun. Take the cannoli." But in Marciano's, leave it as well.

Article Title
In former times people depended much more than nowadays on a well-stocked memory, or at least one differently stocked with little reference to printed materials. Few could read, fewer still had many books, and pens and paper were expensive. So it was, for instance, that names of rulers were associated with tags and epithets which immediately summoned up qualities or events which located them in the history of their countries. In the United States we have a few ekenames like The Father of His Country, Honest Abe and The Great Communicator, but of these only the first and second seem to have settled in, although neither is much used. The Great Communicator is more of a movable epithet than anything else, has been applied to others before, and undoubtedly will be applied to others later.

By Irwin Hirsch
In The Interpersonal culture: The Origins of Psychoanalytic Subjectivity, Irwin Hirsch deals an outline of psychoanalytic heritage and specifically the evolution of Interpersonal pondering, which has develop into principal to a lot modern psychoanalytic concept and practice. This ebook of Hirsch's chosen papers presents an summary of his paintings at the subject over a thirty yr interval (1984-2014), with a brand new introductory bankruptcy and a short updating prologue to every next chapter.
Hirsch deals an unique viewpoint on scientific psychoanalytic technique, comparative psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic concept, fairly explicating the numerous ways that Interpersonal pondering is actually critical to modern thought and practice. Each bankruptcy is full of theoretical explication and scientific examples that illustrate the measure to which the idiosyncratic individual of every psychoanalyst necessarily performs an important position in either analytic praxis and analytic theorizing. Key to this angle is the popularity that every specific person analyst is an inherently subjective co-participant in all features of analytic method, underscoring the significance that analysts continue an acute sensitivity to the participation of either events within the transference-countertransference matrix. total, the ebook argues that the Interpersonal psychoanalytic culture, greater than the other, is answerable for the post-modern and Relational flip in modern psychoanalysis.
Based on a variety of seminal papers that define how the Interpersonal psychoanalytic culture is indispensable to realizing a lot of latest psychoanalytic proposal, this booklet might be crucial examining for practitioners and scholars of psychoanalysis.

What's the best source of information when trying to decide which pesticides may be used in a particular situation? The answer: "On the label that came with the pesticide you purchased." It's just that simple.
However, there are many valid reasons why we turn to additional resources such as traditional pest management ("spray") guides and online pesticide-label services. Whether it's agricultural, horticultural, or yard-and-garden-use products, most pesticide registrants now have their product labels available online in some way. Some registrants utilize independent, online label services, others have developed their own proprietary label service, and many use a combination of the two.
The purpose of this article is to examine and compare the features of three independent, online pesticide-label services:
NOTE: For a comparison chart, refer to the PDF of this issue.
I have used these three services for a number of years now and have discovered that some pesticide registrants don't include all of their registered and available products and formulations within Greenbook and CDMS. It may be necessary to visit the registrant's own Web site to see their full product line; this is especially true for specialty and niche-market pesticides.
When searching by pest or by site, realize that it is easy to overlook products because the pest names are not always standardized, and the wide variety of site names can be overwhelming. For example, when searching the KRS Network database for a fungicide labeled to control cedar-apple rust, you would need to search each of the following variations to find all of the labeled fungicides: rust [gymnosporiangium], hawthorn rust [gymnosporangium], cedar-apple rust [gymnosporangium], and cedar gall rust [gymnosporangium]. Similarly, when searching for a foliar pesticide to use on field corn, you would need to search each of the following sites and perhaps more to find all of the labeled pesticides in the database: corn, corn [foliar treatment], corn [field], and corn [field] [foliar treatment].
The Greenbook database uses a fairly standardized list of pest names, and the sites are logically lumped together, making the search process perhaps less precise but certainly less difficult.

Heat stress occurs when the body is subjected to a level of heat with which it cannot cope. Heat stress can affect both pesticide handlers and workers. With heat stress, the heat, not pesticide exposure, causes certain symptoms. Personal protective equipment (PPE) worn during handling or early-entry activities can increase the risk of heat stress. The protective qualities of the PPE may restrict the evaporation of sweat, thus impeding the body's natural cooling system. If you are under a physician's care, consult your physician before working in hot or humid conditions. Special PPE is available to assist in maintaining a cool body temperature.
Mild forms of heat stress make people feel ill and impair their ability to do a good job. You may feel weak and get tired sooner than usual. In addition, you may be less alert and less able to use good judgment. Severe heat stress, also known as heat stroke, is life-threatening. The normal body temperature is 97.7 degrees F. With heat stroke, body temperature may exceed 105 degrees F. Staggering, unconsciousness, or convulsions may result. Lack of sweating is a common symptom of heat stroke. Brain damage or even death can occur if the heat stroke victim is not cooled down quickly. More than 10 percent of severe heat stress victims die, including young, healthy adults. Sometimes victims remain highly sensitive to heat for months and are unable to return to the same work.
The preceding material was taken from the 2006 National Pesticide Safety Core Manual
Following is the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) 10-point list to help combat the heat risks faced by outdoor workers:
1. Encourage workers to drink plenty of water-about one cup every 15 to 20 minutes.
2. Help workers adjust to the heat by assigning a lighter workload and longer rest periods for the first 5 to 7 days of intense heat.
3. Encourage workers to wear lightweight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothing.
4. Use general ventilation and spot cooling at points of high heat production.
5. Learn to spot and know what to do for signs of heat stroke, which can be fatal. The symptoms are severe headache, mental confusion/loss of consciousness, flushed face, and hot, dry skin. If someone has stopped sweating, seek medical attention immediately. Other heat-induced illnesses include heat exhaustion, heat cramps, skin rashes, swelling, and loss of mental and physical work capacity. Learn more about heat exhaustion and heat stroke and what to do in an emergency: http://www.osha.gov/Publications/osha3154.pdf,
6. Train first-aid workers, along with all employees, to recognize and treat the signs of heat stress.
7. Consider a worker's physical condition when determining fitness to work in hot environments. Obesity, lack of conditioning, pregnancy, and inadequate rest can increase susceptibility to heat stress.
8. Alternate work and rest periods, with longer rest periods in a cooler area. Shorter, but frequent, work-rest cycles are best.
9. Certain medical conditions such as heart conditions, treatments like low-sodium diets, and some medications increase the risk from heat exposure. Seek medical advice in those cases.
10. Monitor temperatures, humidity, and workers' responses to heat at least hourly.
Outdoor workers must also be aware of UV radiation. The main source of UV radiation is sunlight. Skin and eyes are the organs most susceptible to UV radiation. UV radiation causes premature aging of the skin, wrinkles, cataracts, and melanoma, the most serious type of skin cancer. However, the outdoor worker can protect himself or herself by taking five easy precautions:
1. Cover up. Wear clothing that does not transmit visible light, to protect as much of your skin as possible.
2. Use a sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher. Sunscreen should be applied liberally at least 15 minutes before going outside. Reapply every 2 hours, or more frequently if you sweat a lot.
3. Wear a hat. A wide-brim hat is ideal because it protects the neck, ears, eyes, forehead, nose, and scalp.
4. Wear sunglasses that block UV rays. UV-absorbent sunglasses can help protect your eyes from sun damage.
5. Limit direct sun exposure. UV rays are most intense when the sun is high in the sky, between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
OSHA general standards section 1910.132(a) requires employers to provide protective equipment to employees who are overexposed to the sun's radiation (CCH 13,445).

In most cases, it's not too difficult to find a commercial (for-hire) pesticide applicator; you either talk to a neighbor or colleague, or check the Yellow Pages. However, when it comes to specialized situations such as controlling pond weeds or killing tree roots in a sewer line, finding a licensed commercial applicator may seem a bit more challenging.
However, there is a resource available to the public where you can easily find the right person for the job. Since the late 1990s, Kelly Registration Systems has been working with individual state departments of agriculture to provide pesticide applicator license information and pesticide registration specifics via the Internet. Illinois-specific information can be found on the Illinois Department of Agriculture's (IDOA) Web site at www.kellysolutions.com/IL/Applicators.
For example, in three easy steps, you can find all nearby applicators that are licensed to apply pesticides to a specific site (category):
1. Click on "Search for an Applicator in your City, County, Zip."
2. Enter the city, zip code, or county of interest.
3. Then chose the license category and applicator type (see discussion below).
The results page lists all individuals who meet your search criteria. Simply click on a person's name to see the detailed license information and to learn how to contact him or her by mail.
License types
Private Applicator License: Required for people applying restricted-use pesticides to produce an agricultural commodity on property they own or control. Private Applicators must pass the Grain Fumigation exam to fumigate their own grain bins. The Private Applicator license does not allow applications "for hire." License and exam(s) are valid for 3 years.
Pesticide Dealer License: An individual must be licensed to sell (1) restricted-use pesticides (RUP); or (2) nonrestricted-use pesticides for use in the production of an agricultural commodity in containers with a capacity of 2.5 gallons or greater, or 10 pounds or greater. In addition, records of RUP sales must be kept for 2 years. Commercial Applicators and Structural Pest Control Operators are exempt from the test and fee but must register as Dealers. The exam is valid for 3 years if no lapse occurs in annual licensure.
Other licenses
Commercial Applicator and Operator Licenses: Required for individuals who purchase, use, or supervise the use of pesticides classified for general or restricted use for hire. Exam(s) are valid for 3 years if no lapse occurs in annual licensure.
Commercial Not-for-Hire Applicator and Operator Licenses: Required for individuals who use or supervise the use of pesticides classified for general or restricted use for any purpose on property of an employer when such activity is a requirement of the terms of employment and the application is limited to property under the control of the employer only. This type of license does not allow applications "for hire." Exam(s) are valid for 3 years if no lapse occurs in annual licensure.
Public Applicator and Operator Licenses: Required for individuals who use or supervise the use of pesticides classified for general or restricted use as an employee of a state agency, municipality, or other duly constituted governmental agency or unit. This type of license does not allow applications "for hire." Exam(s) are valid for 3 years if no lapse occurs in annual licensure.
Applicator vs. Operator?
An Applicator is the person(s) in an organization who has the responsibility for pesticide purchasing, storage, handling, and use. An Applicator is usually an owner, a supervisor, or a foreman. Each organization must have at least one person licensed as an Applicator at each facility location. The Applicator's license categories dictate the areas in which a company and his/her operators may legally apply pesticides.
An operator is a person who uses pesticides at the job site; he/she is tied directly to the applicator's license. The Operator can apply pesticides only under the direct supervision of the Applicator and can apply pesticides only to areas covered by the applicator's license. Supervision and direction of operators by an Applicator is interpreted to mean that the Applicator must be in daily contact with the operators. If the Applicator is out of town or not available, the operator may not legally apply pesticides.
What's a category?
In Illinois, there are 17 different categories of licensure. Each category is designed for pesticide use requiring specific professional knowledge. An Applicator who needs to apply pesticides to a range of sites needs multiple categories on his/her license.
Regarding expiration dates
In Illinois, remember that each exam is good for 3 years and that all but Private Applicator licenses expire at the end of each calendar year. So, if you're a Private Applicator, the listed expiration date indicates when your license expires and when you'll need to retake the exam. For everyone else, realize that the listed expiration dates indicate license renewal, not necessarily reexamination. Applicators and Operators should pay close attention to the notification letter you receive from the IDOA each November; it indicates the need for license renewal or reexamination.

There is often confusion at our pesticide safety education training clinics about the differences between training manuals, workbook, and CDs, and what a person needs to attend a training session and pass the exam(s). As these study materials are all intended to assist with learning, it is important to clear up any confusion surrounding them.
Questions for each exam are drawn only from the appropriate training manual and a representative pesticide label. Thus, the answers to all licensing exam questions can be found in the appropriate manual and the pesticide label (which is provided with the exam). If you have thoroughly read and understand the material in a manual and can navigate a pesticide label, then you should have little problem passing a licensing exam. Manuals are updated about every 9 years. Members of the University of Illinois Pesticide Safety Education Program (PSEP) coordinate the revisions. Most manual chapters are written by the PSEP specialists themselves. They also seek the knowledge of other University of Illinois Extension specialists and experts from other institutions throughout the nation to make sure the manuals contain the most relevant and up-to-date information regarding the safe and effective use of pesticides. The extent of the revisions every 9 years varies from manual to manual. For some categories, there might be little change in the information, so there would be little change in the manual as well. For some categories, though, major changes in serious pests or application methods require a more thorough rewriting of the manual. Using out-of-date manuals to prepare for an examination is not recommended. General Standard and Private Applicator manuals each cost $10, and all other category manuals cost $15.
Workbooks are much shorter than manuals, and are not intended to be used as a stand-alone source of information, but rather as a supplement to help the user focus on the most critical information. The workbooks have various blanks, and it is intended that the user fill these blanks in either by going through the training manual or attending a PSEP training clinic. The training modules at the clinic follow the workbook, and participants can learn the answers to put in the blank spaces in the workbook. Similarly, the category manual can be used to fill in these blanks by consulting the manual page number referenced at the end of each numbered workbook item. It is important to note that simply ordering a workbook without also purchasing a manual or attending a training clinic is unlikely to adequately prepare you for a licensing exam.
Workbooks are revised more frequently than manuals, sometimes as often as every year. These revisions occur to keep the workbook up-to-date with the PSEP training clinic presentations and are often less substantial than training manual revisions. When a workbook is revised due to the revision of its corresponding training manual, the changes are much more substantial. All workbooks cost $2 each but are included in the Commercial PSEP clinic fee; so if you register for a training clinic, you receive a workbook for each session you attend, as part of your clinic registration fee.
We strive to complete workbook revisions as early as possible, but sometimes we are unable complete the revision, printing, and distribution until just before training starts. If you arrive at a training clinic and find you have been studying an old workbook you just ordered a few weeks earlier, don't despair. The new workbook was probably just recently released, and you will receive a free copy as part of your training registration. Also, as mentioned earlier, most workbook revisions are not very extreme, so using a recently outdated workbook to prepare for the exam was not a waste of time. You should quickly pick up any important differences during the training.
The PSEP team currently offers two training CDs, which are intended for use in a personal computer. The Private Applicator Self-Study CD is intended to prepare users for the exam required to become a Private Applicator, and the Stored Grain Pest Management Self-Study CD is intended to prepare Private Applicators for the Grain Fumigation exam. While neither of these training CDs are intended for Commercial Applicators, the material on the Private Applicator Self-Study CD is somewhat similar to the material covered in General Standards training, and the CD may help some better understand some of this material. The Private Applicator Self-Study CD, however, should not be used as a substitute for General Standards training materials. Although similar, there are some differences.
It is important to keep up-to-date with PSEP training materials. Studying outdated manuals is not likely to be sufficient in preparing for an exam. The material can change, with new material added and out-of-date material deleted. There are two good ways to determine if your study materials are current and, if not, to order new ones. One approach is to visit http://www.pesticidesafety.uiuc.edu/publications/publications.htm for an up-to-date list, which includes the publication number, title, color of the cover, price, and date the item was last revised. By comparing this date with the one on your manual or workbook, you can determine whether or not you have the most current version. Another option is to call the main University of Illinois PSEP office at (800)644-2123 or (217)244-2123 and ask about current study materials. Remember, the study materials are intended to help you learn the appropriate things for each category, and it is important to use the current manual and workbook to properly prepare for an exam.

I finished preparing all the required documents I needed to submit for my retirement, claims for death and survivorship benefits, and clearing the tax liabilities of my late husband. And that was it. No more self-imposed deadlines to meet.
So I've decided to spend a few days tolerating idleness.
As I was sitting at the entrance of the school owned by our family and selected friends, I watched carefully the construction workers doing the upgrade of the school grounds. At the end of the day, I felt overworked doing nothing.
My envious feelings for people in the barrios just sitting on benches along the alleys with their neighbors and chatting, clueless of what to eat next, was suddenly wiped out. What a hard way to spend the day, I realized.
Essayist Tim Kreider of The New York Times wrote that idleness is not just a vacation, an indulgence or a vice; it is as indispensable to the brain as Vitamin D to the body, and deprived of it, we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets.
Having been a workaholic for the last thirty-nine years, my only relaxation is reading, cooking and some brief chats with friends. These did not in any way give my brain a downtime.
Mary Helen Immordino-Yang and her co-authors had these arguments about downtime:
- When we are resting, the brain is anything but idle and that far from being purposeless or unproductive, downtime is in fact essential to mental processes that affirm our identity, develop our understanding of human behavior and instill an internal code of ethics processes that depend on the DMN (Default Mode Network).
- Downtime is an opportunity for the brain to make sense of what it has recently learned, to surface fundamental unresolved lessons in our lives and to swivel its powers of reflection away from the external world toward itself.
- By treating ourselves with idleness, we become more productive. Our capacity to be more attentive is increased. Our memories become more vivid. Our creativity is enhanced.
I see the contrast why I experienced too much fatigue by doing lazy things that day. The moments I spent was focused on the negative thoughts. I figured out that working in construction is power intensive. Instead of using my idle moments thinking how the school can attract more enrollees with the improvements being introduced, I dealt more on the heavy load of workers.
Using our imagination while relaxing allows us to do performance reviews of ourselves. This allows us to ask how we treated others recently. What are the things we did right? What are the things we did wrong? What changes do we have to introduce to correct our faults?
I thank the social media for providing a wide array of information. One that got my interest was on meditation. This gave me time to make reflections before I sleep and before I get up the following morning. It is never too late. I have achieved the level of happiness I didn't experience when I was still working in a tax administration organization.
Looking at the scene of some of the persons I envied for being relaxed in their lives, I now believe that the absence of worry in their mind attracts blessings but only up to the limits of what they wanted for the day.
Being idle pampers our brain by allowing it to process the stored data in our mind. Just like writing blogs, the brain needs concentration to make recommendations to its host body on how to be productive and abundant in life.
Let us pamper our brain with idleness. I consider it as a spa treatment.

It seems perfectly obvious to us that financial benefits from wind farms should be spread equitably throughout communities that host wind farms. Of course, if you were opposing wind farms, as they do at The Australian, you'd be a bit concerned to see this happening. After all, people might start welcoming wind farms in their area and you wouldn't want that.
This was a letter we wrote to the Oz responding to a beat up article of theirs this week. Perhaps not surprisingly they decided not to publish it so we will here.
29 March 2016
The initiative by wind farm developer WestWind ("Wind farms used to buy neighbours silence" 29/3) in offering to share financial benefits with immediate neighbours should be welcomed. The Australian Wind Alliance has campaigned to industry for more equitable benefit sharing for some time, and these types of arrangements are now becoming commonplace for new wind farm projects in New South Wales.
Communities that host wind farms already benefit from construction and ongoing jobs, income for farmers who host turbines and community funding. However, the situation where turbine hosts receive significant payments while their immediate neighbours may receive nothing clearly raises issues of equity.
Lease payments to host farmers tend to be flow back to the local community through hiring of local contractors, fencing and weed control work. It's likely that neighbour agreements would multiply this economic effect, and makes such arrangements a no-brainer.
This puts wind farms in a unique position. Look around Australia at major electricity generators and try to name any other type (coal, gas, etc) that shares wealth in this way with the community, rather than just the operator.

(ii) Such demarcation of stocks shall continue until 'the company' stock has been fully paid for by the customer. (iii) Subsequently the customer can transfer goods separately held to the "other stock" when the goods are fully paid for. (iv) All "unpaid" stock will not only be kept separate by the customer from the "other stock", but also sufficiently identified to enable the 'the company' to readily repossess such should the customer no t fulfil the terms for full payment within the required time. (v) In the event 'the company' goods are ordered and delivered to the customer's premises and then subsequently mixed in with the 'other stock", the customer will forfeit ownership in the "other stock" and title will revert back to 'the company' for such stock until full payment is received by 'the company'."

The cost of promotionals shall be recovered in the price of other goods sold and invoiced on an equalisation basis, notwithstanding variation in actual physical provision, and they shall still be regarded as being sold to the customers, even if not fully recovered in the specific invoice price. The promotionals can be provided at any time, not necessarily at the time of the invoice of other goods and 'the company' reserves the right to recover stocks of such from the customer's premises if amounts owed are unpaid within the specified time.
Irrespective of any terms and conditions in the customer's order form, or irrespective of the customer not reading the terms and conditions, acceptance (by retaining the Goods or any other method) of the goods ordered by the customer will be conclusive acceptance of the terms and conditions of sale contained herein.

How Biomass Works
Request a free quote >
How does Biomass heat my home?
The main ways of using biomass to heat your home, or business, are:
- A stove burning logs, or pellets, heating a single room. If fitted with a back boiler standalone stoves can also provide hot water.
- A boiler burning logs, wood chips or pellets. Biomass boilers are connected to your existing heating/hot water system
Stoves and boilers using logs tend to be filled by hand. Our pellet and wood chip boilers use automatic fuel feeding systems, avoiding need for daily filling by hand, controlling the amount of fuel and air entering the combustion chamber making such boilers highly efficient.
Which type of Biomass?
Whichever type of biomass fuel you opt for, it will need to be stored on site:
- A log store
- Pellets/wood chips in a hopper (a domestic hopper usually occupies 6-7 cubic meters)
We can supply fuel stores or hoppers as part of your biomass installation. We can even supply fuel throughout the lifetime of your system, unless of course you already have access to your own local supply of fuel.

Now, let's be clear: I love what I do. Becoming an indie author has been a dream of mine since I was little, and seeing The Grim in print on my bookshelf sparkling like a marquee in downtown Harlem is that dream realized. However, in addition to being a (hopefully successful) independent author, I am also a single mother with a day job. Let's just say trying to find a balance has not been easy.
The scheduling alone is a monster! I have interviews and blogs to write for my current blog tour, and Soapbox Spotlight submissions which have been flooding my inbox ever since I began the feature during Launch Week. In addition, I've also agreed to review a few authors' books, I've had two back-to-back appearances, plus I need to find time to sit down and write the two new novels I'm working on: The Devil & I, a romance novel, and The Lova Chronicles, a series YA-style that still needs to be fleshed out in certain places. And that's just my author schedule. We haven't even begun to discuss field trips, laundry, cooking dinner, cleaning, relationship issues, Bible study lectures with content I must both read and write, yoga, and the occasional bout with congestive heart failure (I was diagnosed in January 2010. I'll tell you more about that later).
And did I mention I have a day job?
I guess I'm going to have to take a deep breath and find a way to make my life work, to meld things together in such a way that I don't feel swamped, overwhelmed, or overworked. And while all this sounds so good to me right now, it is definitely going to be easier said than done. Consider the comment section below a suggestion box: I'm open to whatever you have. In case you can't see it, there's a big HELP sign plastered on my forehead...

Kalamazoo Beer FAQ
Learn more about our Best Brews or peruse our Kalamazoo Beer FAQ below.
What is a microbrew(craft) beer?
Even though it sounds like a miniature beer, a microbrew is actually a beer brewed in a small commercial brewery. In the U.S., it is a beer produced at a microbrewery that brews no more than 15,000 barrels of beer per year. Brewed and distributed on a regional basis, some of these beverages are also known as craft beers. The emphasis of a craft beer is the quality of the product rather than its mass production.
Why only Michigan Beers on tap?
Simply put, they are the best! With the top two cities of the "Beer City USA" poll being Grand Rapids and Kalamazoo, it's no wonder why our selection of beer comes from the self proclaimed "Beer Region USA."
How many different styles do you feature?
Potter's always keeps up to date on the latest and greatest brews from the Michigan area. We feature six different styles of beer on tap so even the shy kind can enjoy our selection.
Can you tell me what the different styles mean?
I.P.A.- IPA stands for India Pale Ale which tells us how the beer was brewed. Traditional IPAs were brewed strong to survive long voyages. These beers are typically higher in alcoholic content and are bitterer and more hops than others.
Ale - Ale is a type of beer brewed from malted barley using a warm fermentation with a strain of brewers' yeast. The yeast will ferment the beer quickly, giving it a sweet, full bodied and fruity taste. Most ales contain hops, which help preserve the beer and impart a bitter herbal flavor that balances the sweetness of the malt. This type of beer is most commonly infused with fruit making "fruity" beers.
Stout/Porter – Stout/Porter is a dark beer made using roasted malt or roasted barley, hops, water and yeast. Stouts were traditionally the generic term for the strongest or stoutest porters, typically 7% or 8%, produced by a brewery.
Lager - is a type of beer that is fermented and conditioned at low temperatures. Pale lager is the most widely consumed and commercially available style of beer in the world. Bock, Pilsner and Märzen are all styles of lager. There are also dark lagers, such as Dunkel and Schwarzbier. The most common example would be Bud Light.
Rye - Rye beer refers to any beer in which rye (generally malted) is substituted for some portion of the barley malt.
Pale Ale - Pale ale is a beer made by warm fermentation using predominantly pale malt. The higher proportion of pale malts results in a lighter color. This is the second most typically brewed style of beer after the Lager.
Hard Cider - Made from apples, pears and occasionally quinces. Certain varieties of apples are used almost exclusively for cider, as they contain the necessary elements to make a good fermented drink. Most cider contains a blend of several different apples, to get a good balance between sugar content to promote fermentation, acid to give the brew bite and contrast, and tannins to create a slight bitterness.
Tripel - The name "Tripel" actually stems from part of the brewing process, in which brewers use up to three times the amount of malt than a standard Trappist "Simple." Traditionally, Tripels are bright yellow to gold in color, which is a shade or two darker than the average Pilsener. Head should be big, dense and creamy. Aroma and flavor runs along complex, spicy phenolic, powdery yeast, fruity/estery with a sweet finish. Sweetness comes from both the pale malts and the higher alcohol. Bitterness is up there for a beer with such a light body for its strength, but at times is barely perceived amongst the even balance of malts and hops. The lighter body comes from the use of Belgian candy sugar (up to 25% sucrose), which not only lightens the body, but also adds complex alcoholic aromas and flavors. Small amounts of spices are sometimes added as well.
What does the ABV and IBU stand for?
ABV stands for Alcohol By Volume and is the measure of the amount of space that the alcohol in a beer takes up as a percentage of total volume. This measurement is actually the worldwide standard for measuring the amount of alcohol in a beer.
IBU stands for the International bitterness units which is a measure of the bitterness in a beer. The more bitter beers can actually be over 100 IBU's. Traditionally, IBU's are relatively low in most beers although an India Pale Ale (IPA) such as Dogfish Heads' insanely alcoholic and hoppy "120 Minute IPA" has 15-20% ABV and 120 IBUs!

Beyonce's mother Tina Knowles has opened up about her recent wedding to actor Richard Lawson, insisting her big day "couldn't have been more perfect".
The veteran stylist tied the knot with her boyfriend onboard a luxury yacht in Newport Beach, California on 12 April (15), and now the newlyweds have shared photos from their nuptials with People magazine.
Guests at the private, all-white bash included Beyonce and her husband Jay Z, Knowles' second daughter Solange and her husband Alan Ferguson, Beyonce's former Destiny's Child bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams, and actor Samuel L. Jackson.
The bride's grandchildren Blue Ivy and Julez served as flower girl and ring bearer, respectively, and Knowles admits she was pleasantly surprised to have found happiness again following her 2011 divorce from Mathew Knowles, her husband of over 30 years.
She tells the publication, "There was a time when I doubted if I would find love again. But I was determined to be happy."
Knowles reveals she and Lawson have been friends for decades, but they only became romantically involved in mid-2013 - and she quickly realized "this is somebody that I could really spend the rest of my life with".
Gushing about her second wedding, Knowles tells People, "To walk down the aisle and see all my friends and family and to see my handsome man standin' there, and to know that, at 61 you can still find love and have a magical day like that... it was really beautiful...
"You can find love at any age. You just have to go for it."
The marriage is also Lawson's second - he was previously wed to actress Denise Gordy for 11 years until their split in 1989. They share a daughter, actress Bianca Lawson, while he also has a son named Richard, from a previous relationship.
